Droopy122 Double-T Transformation Contest Log

[droopy122]

Hey everyone. This is going be my little personal spot where I will track my progress and workouts during the Double-T Transformation Contest. I am going to use both CreaDyl and NO Beta. This is my first time taking either one of these type of products, so I can't wait until my first dose and workout.

I will post my beginning pictures in the evening.

Here's a little bit about me:

I currently work in a technical support environment that caused me to balloon up to 296 pounds. I've been working very hard this past year to bring down that number. When I weighed myself a couple of days ago I was 215 with 18.4% bodyfat. This contest is a motivator for me. It gives me a way to be held accountable for my actions. I know I am going to succeed with this contest. Even if I don't win, my body will be more healthier than it is today. Good luck to everyone in the challenge!

Also I am going to record some vlogs on my YouTube channel as well, so check them out @ www.youtube.com/thatsmysherman

Good luck with this, I'll be following along! :D

Everything is uploaded and official. Did it before I started work tonight.

Today marks the first day with NO beta and Creadyl. I felt nervous taking my first serving of NO-Beta. Realizing that once I crack the seal on the bottle there's no turning back, I started having doubts. "What if I dont get any results? What if I spontaneously combust into flames?". Well at least those flame would burn the fat off my body. :) Visualizing how great my body could look, I cracked the seal and downed the three pills and started preparing my breakfast and lunch for work. With that finished I had to get my serving of Creadyl ready. I just threw it in a ziplock bag and planned to buy a bottle of water at work. When it was time for me to prepare it, I kinda got excited. Everyone at work was like "whats this concoction he's making". I felt like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It was finally time to try this orange liquid. I turn to one of my co-worker and told him, "If I die after this drink always remember that I hate your guts" and down it went. Hmm it didn't taste bad. Strong flavor at the beginning but got weak and nasty at the last drop. Well since I am writing this, you can infer that nothing crazy happened; I just went back to doing my work.

Skipping to the gym time...

Took my second serving of these products right before my workout. At first I didn't think I was going to feel anything; boy was I wrong. As I was warming up on the treadmill, I started to feel this rush of energy; an energy I never felt before. So I sped off to my workout. Let me tell this, I got more exercises done then ever. Normally the main part of my workout lasts for about 1 and 30, but this time it was an hour. In regards to the pumps, my shoulders have been puffy since the 1:30pm and its 7:02 now.

So to cut things short, I can't wait for my next lifting day on Tuesday. Gonna work out back and biceps.

Next entry I will have some type of format. I just wanted the first one to be a raw edit of how felt the first time taking the product.

good to hear, tear it up :D

[droopy122]

Woke up with at least 7 hours of sleep under my belt. Legs and shoulders were most definitely sore from yesterday. Didn't lift since it was suppose to be Yoga day. Didn't do yoga because I had to go get a duplicate drivers license from the DMV and a bus pass after work. The reason why I had to get a new license was because my bag was stolen from my locker at the gym yesterday. Who would have thought that the day I forget my lock someone would steal my stuff. They took my bookbag that had my wallet, apt keys, change of address receipt, notebook with random notes, and other minor things. Whats weird is they didn't take my jacket, my stride gum, mix cup, and my "Eat clean diet for men" book. Dont worry, the locks have been changed on my apt and my debit cards have been canceled. I have an extra debit card with a different number from my bank.

Doing all of that stuff caused me to miss my second serving of Creadyl which I am going to take 30 minutes before bed. Hopefully I won't get the sleeplessness effect.

Meal 1: Cereal
Meal 2: Creadyl waited 15 minutes and had some yogurt
Meal 3: Roast beef sandwich with light mayo
Meal 4: Sugar free Pudding
Meal 5: Two entry place from Panda Express (bad)
Meal 6: Creadyl

Extra Sups taken today: Multi-vitamin, Fish Oil, and ZMA

Good luck with the challenge! Looks like we started right about the same time, so it will be fun to follow along with your transformation. Despite having some pretty essential items stolen from you, you sound pretty upbeat in this journal. Good for you for not letting some jerk get you down too much. Keep your head up, it looks like you are going to do great!

It was time to put the stack to test. Today was back and bicep day. I took both products as prescribed. Let me just say that I was able to lift more weight then I ever have. I was tearing through the gym like an animal. My back was swollen when I got through working it. Moved on to biceps. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the pump :( Strength was crazy through it all, but just no pump. I think I am going to up the dose of NO Beta.

What kind of changes are you seeing?

[longhorns_p]

No pump :o

Did you only take 2 tablets of NO-Beta? That would be the reason for NO-Beta not working, I have to take at least 6 to get the pump and benefits from it. Because you definitely should've felt something with that workout, there was plenty of mid-high reps in that session

[droopy122]

What kind of changes are you seeing?

I am seeing an increase in energy/focus during my workouts. Also I am able to lift an additional 15-20% of my normal weight.

I took 3 tablets :( I am going to double it next week.

Im not trying to be a dick or anything, but I really think you need more calories. Not only that, your meal plan is kind of jacked up here. Cereal for breakfast? Try some old fashioned oats. I eat A LOT more than this. (check out my log if you want). But all I am saying is if you want some really good results, you need to change this up a bit. More protein too. Try some whole grain (wheat) fiber bread. A lot better for you than that bagel and the fiber bar.

Just some advice (if I sound like a dick, I don't mean too lol)

EDIT:

Paul recommends 1.5grams of protein per pound of body weight. You weigh 215, thats 322.5 grams of protein. Try 20% fats, the rest carbs

apdunshiz, its cool man you dont sound like a dick, you're just trying to help me out and I appreciate it. This week has been a trial week with nutrition; logging everything that I currently eat. Once I get a general idea of what I eat, I plan to adjust it accordingly. Cereal has just been a quick meal since I have training at real early at work.

Hey man..I dont know how "motivated" you are, but I just want to say keep with it no matter what. My first week was hard, but now I am working on my fifth week, and I know Im not giving up now. I am too dedicated and motivated. I came this far, and for that I will not quit now.

Just keep at it no matter what

[droopy122]

Boy have I been a lazy bum and not updating you guys. Well 1/8-1/9 were my rest days. I still took my normal dose of Creadyl. I really felt that chest workout the day before. It was so intense. As far as my meals, I ate a little bit out of my boundaries; the PF Changs was delicious. It was a well deserved meal. I had the Dali Chicken and 2 spring rolls. To think of it, I didn't do too bad. Well I can't remember anything else. Starting this week I am going to write more detail about what I am eating cause I feel as if I am leaving things out. From here on out I am going to be hella serious.

[droopy122]

Seeing how I was coming off my weekend, I overslept Sunday; didn't wake up until 2pm. I ended up eating some oatmeal and a banana. Waited a hour and a half, then went to gym. It was about 5:00 when I got there. This time I took 6 NO Beta before the workout and 1 serving of Creadyl. Its seems as if 6 is the lucky number because my legs were hard as a rock after my workout.

Here is my workout for 1/10/2010

Since I overslept yesterday, it really tough to get some quality sleep before work. I think got about 4-5 hours. Yeah I know its bad, but it seems that's how my Monday's normally work out. Legs were stiff as hell. I had to leave early to walk to work. It took me 20 minutes to get there and I live 10 minutes away :).

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that my shoulders are sore too. I can really feel it in my traps.

Thanks for the motivating words. I really needed to hear them.

[droopy122]

Still sore from Sunday's workout. I got a nice amount of sleep. I wish I could have gotten more. The gym was busy as hell today. I really hate it when its packed. Waiting for machine disrupts my zone. Fortunately, I made it through at a decent amount of time. The workout started at 4:20pm and ended at 5:35pm. Also, I took 6 of the NO Beta and it really made a different this time. I didn't have a wicked pump, but it was pump.

Hey man, i am not sure how you prepare yourself for nutritional intake, but may I recommend preparing foods in advance? Such as maybe a day you don't work? On Sunday, I prepare all my meals for the entire week. I eat the same thing, every day, but still. I don't have to worry about what I am eating, and in the long run, it saves time and frustration.

Anyways, it's looking good so far. You seeing any progress yet?

[drooks10]

Nice workout, bro! Some days you just feel like a beast in the gym - slaying those weights!

Normally, I prepare my meals for the week on Sundays and Wednesdays, but since I am in the middle of switching positions at work, they are throwing wacky hours at me. Its mostly a mid day shift from 12 pm to 8:30, but they need overtime. So I end up staying to 9:30 or 10. Next week I go back to my overnight schedule that I had before with Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off. I am getting awesome results; starting to feel and see more of my abs. Hell my entire body is getting more defined!

Nice workout, bro! Some days you just feel like a beast in the gym - slaying those weights!

Thanks bro.

These past 8 days have been hectic. I have been bouncing between two different shiftt and its wearing on my personal time; which is when I normally post on here. As of last night I am officially on my perminant schedule. So, I can get back on my normal routine. The past workouts have been awesome! I can just feel my body getting stronger and leaner everyday. I finally experienced the pin needle feeling everyone has been talking about. It was akward at first, but since I read about it beforehand it didn't worry me. I really need to find a better way to track my nutrition. Anyone got any ideas?

The consensus is to use fitday.com It's a really simple set up and while getting it set up can be a little time consuming, once you have your foods set up, it's WAY easy to manage.

That's great that you are finally on a set schedule now. Good for you for keeping up your workouts though!

Thanks Jovinni! I will have to look into fitday.

My workouts have been really intense lately. Once my hand touches that cold unforgiving steel, my mind becomes clear and focused on the task at hand. The NO Beta and Creadyl stack has taken my workouts to a new level. Can't wait for my next workout. I am in the process of determining if I am going to start cutting at week 6. My strength just keeps increasing so much that want to keep lifting heavy. I need to make up my mind before next Sunday.

Good workout, nice job on those PR's!

As for the nutrition, try out fitday. A lot of people on here like it. Personally it didn't work as well for me. I'm currently using myfitnesspal.com because they have an iPhone app which makes it easier for me to update through the day.

Boy am I sore from that workout on Thursday. It seems as if everything is failing into place. Yesterday I make a quick run to walmart to pick up some groceries. I swung by the clothing section and picked some new underwear since my current ones were starting to feel big and falling apart . Normally I would get the underwear that would be a size large (38-40), but this time I got the Mediums 38-40. They fit perfectly WOOT!!!! Once I wake up tonight, I have to take my mid progress photos and measurements. I really can't wait to see (in numbers) how I've improved.

[droopy122]

[Late post: Internet was down yesterday morning]

Man I can't believe it has been four weeks already. I took my mid progress pics yesterday and I am really seeing a difference in my arms and my lower back. The six pack is coming very nicely. So with six more weeks to go I still need to decide if I am going to do a a cutting phase. I am going to look into that this weekend.

The workout was awesome this morning. I set a lot of personal records! The workout wasn't under an hour, but I did a lot of work and needed rest between sets.

Well once again my internet connection when out, so thats the reason why these posts are late. They finally realized that something was wrong with the jack, so they ended re-wiring the jack. Now my internet is working at amazing speeds and staying connected. Yesterday I went to my yoga class at my university. We worked on strength, but it just felt like stretching to me. When I woked up this morning, my legs were still sore from that crazy workout on Sunday. Hopefully I will be able to workout my abs tomorrow morning.

Today's workout was awesome. Once again I set some new PRs. Its a great feelings to see myself getting stronger every week. The supplements combined with new way of cooking have played a great part in this process. This morning I tried a new recipe, Oatmeal pancakes. It was composed of 2 eggs, 1/2 c. of oats, 1/2 c. of cottage cheese, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. It was really tasty.

I am stiff as a log today. As a reward for such a great workout yesterday, I watched Star Trek. Let me say that the movie was well thought out. Usually when I am watching a movie, I surf the net, but this movie was so appealing that I closed my laptop, laid on the couch, and gave it my full attention. After the movie was over I completed my core workout.

I don't know what I did today, but I felt so unfocused and unmotivated. I felt it during work and my workouts. Maybe it was the fact I kept waking up every two hours. Really not good for my body. Hopefully I will get some rest this next two days cause i really need it. The back is still sore from a couple of days ago which is not the norm.

It happened yet again, waking up every two every hours. It's starting to get real annoying and affecting my performance at work. My back, chest, and triceps are still sore. I am thinking about switching things up for the next 5 weeks, so stay tuned for more info.

[droopy122]

Hey gang sorry about not updating in a couple of days. I was trying to work out this sleep thing and finally figured it out. It was the change in temperature. Since it was raining here in AZ a few days ago, I decided to turn on my heat. Well once things warmed back up, I forgot to turn off the heat. Once I turned it off, I was able to sleep without interruption. So enough about that lets talk about my workout

Since I have five more weeks left for this challenge, I decided to switch things up. Now I am doing a push/pull superset workout with 15 minutes interval training at the end.

Sunday: Quads/Hams (shoulders tentative)
Monday: Yoga
Tuesday: Back/Chest
Wednesday: Core (shoulders tentative
Thursday: Biceps/Triceps

My workout on Sunday was actually fun and tough. I had to dig deep to stay concentrated and motivated. When I got through with the supersets, I was dripping with sweat and my heart was racing . What a great feeling!!!

How are the supplements doing bro?

How are the supplements doing bro?

The supplements are freaking awesome bro! Once I increased the NO beta dosage up to 6 pills 10 mins before my workout I started noticing differences. At the beginning of the contest, I was wearing XL shirts. Now I am wearing L shirts :) Plus I am feeling and seeing muscle I didn't know I had.

Two nights ago, I woke up to a flooded kitchen and soaked carpet in the dinning area. Water was dripping from my light fixture in both places. Apparently, the maintenance guys that were repairing the apt above me left some water running and it overflowed. So they came that night got all of the water from under carpet and the light fixtures. I had to deal with two loud machines: a dryer and dehumidifier, which were sucking my power., for 24 hours. My apt told me that they will reimburse me for the electriticity. Some of water got on my computer desk and was inches away from my computer. I am very lucky I woke up when I did.

Yesterday's workout was a blast!!!!! I did learn one important lesson. If you are going to perform supersets, then you need to workout in the morning when no one is at the gym. I got interrupted in between my sets. Grrrrrrr, but it was my fault; I didn't go until later that morning, closer to noon.

I am going to stop working my shoulders with my legs. It just seems like I am not giving them enough attention. Instead, I am going to work them with my abs on Wednesday.

New Workout Schedule

Sundays - Thighs/Hams
Mondays - Yoga
Tuesday - Chest/Back
Wednesdays -Abs/Shoulders
Thursdays - Biceps/Triceps
Fridays - Yoga (maybe)

So when Wednesday comes, I am going work my shoulders again

Today I was suppose to have Yoga, but I forgot that it was holiday. Classes were canceled :( I was really looking forward to class. Oh well. It gave me time to write this post on a big @$$ monitor at school. I am playing cafe world, farmville, and writing this at the same time :D. Anyhow I'm gonna wrap this up, I gotta get home for my final meal and to get 10 hours of sleep ;)

BTW: I took a nice warm bath this morning. It was really relaxing.

[droopy122]

Let me say that drooks10 idea up peanut butter and green beans was delicious. I kinda mixed it up though; I put carrots with it too. Yum Yum. Today's workout was tough as hell once again. I did go up in weight a bit. Once again my workout was interrupted, but it was cool because it was one of my gym buds, so he let me work in between his sets. It was funny when he saw me do the self rows. He was like "Oh you getting hardcore and $h!t."

Wow, today's workout was f-ing INSANE!!! I never saw so many veins on my arms in my life. My gym buddies were like: "You're going Super-Saiyan on us!?!?!" Also this chick asked me what my name was *blush*. I love the effect the sups are having. I cant wait till my weigh-in this weekend. My sleep has been on point so far. We will have to see how the rest of the week goes.

Yet another week has gone by. That means I only got three more weeks to get as ripped as possible. Its turning out really well. I am kinda nervous cause I am going to weigh in when I wake up tonight. This will tell me if my sleep pattern really affected my weight and bodyfat. This week I have slept exceptionally well; getting about 7 hours of sleep each night. My current clothes are getting looser. I am going to start saving money to buy a new wardrobe! :)

I have been taking creadyl at a different times this week; once when I wake up in the morning (its really nighttime) and the second before/during my workout. I think that is the best method since you are on an empty stomach when you first wake up.

Well it time to eat and play some games for a bit. Then its bed time.

Thanks Sein!!!!

[droopy122]

How are you responding to the Double-T products??

Bro I love the products. The NO Beta is really pushing the amount of weight I can lift and the frequency of my sets, while the CreaDyl is giving me tons of energy. After the contest, I am going to stick with the stack cause it is the only one that has worked for me. Also, I am loving vascularity that I get during my workouts; veins everywhere!

Weighed in at exactly at 207lbs. Now the bodyfat was confusing. When I first did the measurement it said 11.7%! I nearly fainted. Did it again and it gave me a higher number. So I ended up doing five measurement, each of them different number, and took the average of them. It came out to 14.6%. I am most definitely going to get a BodPod test done in two weeks.

I was suppose to do some work on the stairmill but, one of them was broke and the other one was in use. :( So I jumped on the elliptical. During the entire workout I felt very lethargic and I am a little sore from my back workout last Tuesday. I am going to really get some rest for the next two days and work on relaxing a little more in Yoga class. Hopefully I will be ready for Tuesday's back workout.

[annaputilo]

It was so intense. I've made myself uncompetitive

[droopy122]

I had yet another fun yoga class. My back is feeling much better. Can't wait for tomorrow's workout. Okay I think I finally found a program to track my nutrition. Well I have had it all along but never used it :) Its called Fat Secrets Calorie Counter. It works really well. There is an app that goes on your G1 (or iPhone). The app sync with their website for free. I was surprised at how many people have added to the database. Well here is what I ate today.

According to the number of cals, I am eating just enough calories to lose weight, but if I am going to put some more muscle, I will have to get my protein up and increase my cals. I make have to throw in some more eggs and another protein shake

[euro_luzr]

Have you tried GlutaCene on your workouts? It would have aid in recovery on your back. I gotta check out that Calorie Counter since I have an Iphone. so are you almost done like me? I've got a week left. Keep killin it bro and you're looking good in the avatar pic.

Those were my exact words when I saw the numbers. I love strawberry flavored anything and I can't wait for the Gluatacene to come to my door. Next week I am going to rest and let my body recover from grueling workouts and the get back on track. I am going to lift for muscle this time around. I'll keep ya posted on here and YT. Yes I really want that 6-pack before summer! And believe me, I will get there with the help of Double-T Sports supps :)

Sherman’s (Droopy122) 10 Week NO Beta and CreaDyl Review


Back in November 2009, I was browsing through bodybuilding.com for some information about switching up my workout routine. On the front page there was an advertisement for the Double-T Sports Transformation contest. At first I ignored it because I was used to seeing contests that didn’t allow Arizona resident to compete. Then curiosity got to me. So I clicked on it read through the rules and saw that it was open to Arizona residents. Thrilled and shocked, I rushed through the sign up process. Towards the end of form, I thought to myself, “I should wait until the new year to start this challenge since I was already in another one that was on You Tube. Also, it could help me stick with my New Year goals. So, I marked my calendar for January 2, 2010

I ordered my bottles of NO Beta and CreaDyl about a week before my start date. During the interim, I did tons of research about creatine and nitric oxide boosters and read what others were experiencing on the forums. So once I got the package at my door, I knew exactly what I was getting. Funny part was that I wanted to start taking the supplements the day I got them.

When I opened the CreaDyl, I smelled the awesome orange cream flavor. Mixing this product with water was very easy. There were not any clumps at the bottom of my mixing cup. The taste: phenomenal! It went down smooth and didn’t after a nasty after taste. So after my serving I stood there, evaluating my thoughts and feelings as this mixture was making its way through my system; didn’t notice a thing. So I went about my night and went to work.

In the early morning hours, I thought my first dose of NO Beta. In order to test my tolerance, I only took three capsules. Once again, I tried to see if there were in changes in my mood or energy levels and yet I was disappointed. Remembering what my father taught me about being patient, I stuck with the program. Later on that morning I took my second dose of NO Beta and CreaDyl before my workout and was in and out of the gym. I did this for about three weeks until something started to happen.

One night when I woke up I noticed that I had an abundance of energy. I proceed to do my normal routine, but I noticed that I had this tingling sensation after my first dose of CreaDyl. Now I read that are a lot of people where experiencing this after their first dose of CreaDyl, so why did it take this long for it to happen to me? Fast forward to my workout, I took one serving of CreaDyl, and 6 capsules of NO Beta (I had boosted this over the course of three weeks). 10 minutes into my workout I had those tingles again, but something feel different about them. The weights in my hands felt really light, so I said lets go up in weight. I did this every single week after that.

The increases in strength were extraordinary; I was lifting numbers that I would have never thought I could do. After week 5, I decided to switch my training style to HIIT in order to match my energy levels. The CreaDyl and NO Beta adjusted accordingly to give me the energy to make it through my tough workouts. At the end of the 10 weeks, I lost 15 pounds and lowered my bodyfat by 4 percent! Even though the contest is over, I will still continue to use the supplements and promote them as much as I can. Why? Because they WORK!

P.S.. I have a vlog documenting the 10 weeks on YouTube (www.youtube.com/thatsmysherman)


Thanks Double-T Sports

[journey2swole]

Great review droopy, glad you were able to enter and that you decided to. It is an amazing experience. Good luck in the judging. There are so many people who have worked so hard I would not want to have to be the person to make the selection. I would have to declare everyone who finishes a winner.
